If copy_from_user() fails, write() currently returns -EFAULT, but any partially written data leaves the TX FIFO in an inconsistent state. Subsequent write() calls then fail with "transmit length mismatch" errors. Once partial data is written to the hardware FIFO, it cannot be removed without a TX reset. Commitc6e8d85faf("staging: axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for user errors") removed a full FIFO reset for this case, which fixed a potential RX data loss, but introduced this TX issue. Fix this by introducing a bounce buffer: copy the full packet from userspace first, and write to the hardware FIFO only if the copy was successful.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
